Argentinean Senate Blocks E-Voting Bill

Argentina’s senate voted down an electoral reform proposal that included the implementation of single electronic ballots.

Many are calling the decision a political defeat for Mauricio Macri, who backed the reform, and which was heavily opposed by the Kirchner bloc, known as the Front for Victory.

Thursday, November 26, the political party made its majority status in the Senate known by holding off the initiative, based on the testimony of computer experts and their explanations regarding “the high vulnerability of some of the proposed methods” involved in the electronic voting ballots.
